Mother's Day

My Mom was out of town Mother's Day weekend, so we celebrated the weekend before, when Dave and Erin were in town. Saturday evening we went down to Salem to have family dinner with all the Enochses so we could make sure and have Dick there with us (he works Sundays). We had dinner at Bentley's, which was delicious, and the company was great! Also, Peggy gave me a little herb garden for being the mother of her Grandcats :) Isn't that cute? it was my first ever Mother's Day present!

Dick and Peggy

And our darling nieces-Riley and Kailey

On our way home from Salem, Rick and I decided to stop by our friend Benny's house, he was having a BBQ and we wanted to check out his new house. We ended up staying til 3am, which is crazy late for us!

Misty and I hanging out in the garage

Rick was entertained all evening by Benny's awesome arcade game. It has 23oo old school arcade games. We would both love to have that machine!

We played a rousing game of Rock Band, that's what kept us busy til 3

Kaare, wailing on the guitar :)

Rockband, Amanda lead singer of the Glorified Gerbils. Thats Benny on drums, Kaare and Bill on guitars. What a fun game!

And lastly, Melissa and I, winding down the night

No new pics of the house. We worked on electrical for hours on Monday night, but didn't finish. So hopefully we'll be able to finish that up this week. I am starting to finalize some decisions on a front door, kitchen floor and countertops. Besides all the work, there is a LOT of decisions to make. This weekend not much will get done, Rick has kickball tourneys all day Saturday and a season end party Saturday evening, then Rick's niece Riley has her first communion Sunday and a brunch in Salem afterward. Memorial Day weekend we're headed to Boise to visit Becky! Hooray! I am really looking forward to it, and although we could really use a 3 day weekend to work on stuff here, we could also really use a weekend to not worry about it. So hopefully this weekend will mean finishing electrical and some shopping to finalize the decisions. I have no clue when we'll finally get to dry walling. 

So that's the scoop around here! Only 4 1/2 weeks of school left, including finals, which is awesome! 

One last thing-for all you budget minded people out there, Old Spaghetti Factory is running a special menu for the Tuesdays in May, where they offer 40% off. Last night Brianne and I went, and my meal was bread, salad, a giant bowl of spaghetti-have with meat sauce and half with butter and cheese, and a scoop of ice cream-all for $5.99! Granted we had to wait quite a while, but it was worth it if you ask me! So if you want to head down there, you have 2 Tuesdays left! Enjoy!
